A member asked:

I have been experiencing excessive belching even when i have an empty stomach and nausea. my upper abdomen is tender as well. what does this all mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Belching: causes: Usually belching is a result of excess air in the stomach and small intestine. You may want to exclude other more serious causes of belching, including acid reflux and gall bladder disease.
